Lvlup charges no payout fee.

Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

• Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
• Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.

On Demand and processed on Wednesday

Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.

• Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
• Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.

LiveSim® Gauntlet Mini™

• Max Withdrawal: $4,000 (Requires $5,000 in total profit).
• Profit Split: The firm takes a 20% share (deducted monthly or at each withdrawal).

LiveSim® Trader Career Path®

• Max Withdrawal: The program's profit target minus 20%.
• Deductions: No monthly deductions; the 20% is only taken from the target amount.

• Starter: $500 on every size.
• Lvlup: no published minimum.

$100

• KYC with Sumsub before the funded account. The payout method must belong to the verified holder.
• Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
• Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
• The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.

Variable Pricing ($25K–$50K Accounts)

Reset fees for these entry-level accounts fluctuate according to current promotions and are consistently priced lower than a brand-new subscription:

• TCP25 (Trader Career Path® 25K)
• TCP50 (Trader Career Path® 50K)
• GAU50 (Gauntlet Mini™ 50K)

Fixed Pricing ($100K–$200K Accounts)

Reset fees for these higher-balance accounts remain constant and are not affected by promotional offers:

• TCP100 (Trader Career Path® 100K) – $100
• GAU100 (Gauntlet Mini™ 100K) – $100
• GAU150 (Gauntlet Mini™ 150K) – $130
• GAU200 (Gauntlet Mini™ 200K) – $155

A complimentary free reset is added after each monthly renewal of your subscription. You can use these free resets at any time while your subscription is active, accumulate more than one, but any unused resets will be forfeited if you cancel.

Payout Protector (+25% of the price): if a funded account fails while in profit, they review the case and may pay what was eligible. It does not prevent the breach or keep the account open, and it must be added at purchase.

End-of-day trailing: it follows the highest closing balance and updates once the day ends; intraday moves do not shift it. On Lvlup it stops trailing once the account is up 6% and locks at the starting balance; Starter does not publish that lock. Touching it closes the account.

• Evaluation and LiveSim: EOD (End Of Day balance)
• Live: Trailing

80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.

• $25K–$200K accounts: 80/20 if the profit reaches or exceeds the threshold set for the account size; 50/50 if it is below the threshold.
• Trader Career Path® $400K accounts: fixed 60/40.

No daily loss limit.

Both Trading Path Career and Gauntlet Mini have daily drawdown limits. On the funded phase, daily drawdown can be removed upon request after the lower threshold of the trader's maximum drawdown reaches the account's starting balance.

$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.

Maximum of 3 funded accounts. Only one of them can be LiveSim

No fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.

• Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
• Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.

Unlimited

5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.

No minimum trading days on either Trader Career Path® or The Gauntlet Mini™. The evaluation can be passed as soon as the profit goal is reached.

Payouts on LiveSim® and Live accounts: 5 profitable days before each withdrawal request. They do not need to be consecutive, losing days do not reset the count, and the count restarts after each withdrawal. Minimum daily profit, net of commissions and fees, for a day to count:

• TCP50 and GAU50: $150
• TCP100 and GAU100: $200
